JonathanStewart rushed eight times for 31 yards and added two receptions for 23 yards versus the Broncos in Week 10.

The Panthers vowed to establish a power running attack a few weeks ago, but they've shown no patience whatsoever. Stewart had gains of 14 and 19 yards on his first six touches only to see his coaches abandon the ground game. He did play as the featured back over DeAngelo Williams until second-half garbage time. Stewart is merely a flex option versus the Bucs' stout run defense in Week 11.

This bugs me to no end, between Newton, Stewart, Williams and Tolbert they actually have too many options. You can't expect to do well if you switch out a player at the first hint of trouble, the running game DEMANDS commitment, using your "lead" RB for 8 rushes is not even in the vicinity of committed! I said earlier this season that Stewart was suffering from a Chris Johnson-esque sluggishness but it's actually completely different, when used he's actually still the talented player he was, he's just being under-utilized. Get him the ball already! (Sorry for the rant)
